$5.49 to $7.49 is the corroborated band for Dave's Single. Wendy's own $8.13 listing is a fault.
The Wendy's Dave's Single price is better read as a band than as one figure. The company's own ordering site displays $8.13, above the Dave's Double at $6.79 and the Dave's Triple at $7.99 on the same page, which marks it as a fault in the listing rather than a shelf price. Figures that survive checking run $5.49 to $7.49, with $6.79 in the middle. The burger carries 560 calories. A Dave's Combo is listed at $9.49.

If something goes wrong
Why does Wendy's list Dave's Single above Dave's Double?
- Cause
- On the company's own hamburgers page the Single is $8.13 while the Double is $6.79 and the Triple $7.99. The listing was opened three times in August 2026 and the order came back the same each time.
- Fix
- Treat the $8.13 as a fault in the company's display rather than a shelf price. For budgeting, $6.79 sits in the middle of the corroborated $5.49 to $7.49 band.
Dave's Single price: $3.79 or $8.13?
- Cause
- Neither end holds up. The $8.13 is Wendy's own display fault, and the $3.79 comes from a reading its own source revises to $5.49. Both sit at the edges of the printed range, and neither describes what a restaurant charges.
- Fix
- Work from $5.49 to $7.49, which has support at both ends, and budget around $6.79. The Wendy's app gives the figure for a chosen restaurant.
Is the $9.49 combo for the Single or the Double?
- Cause
- One Dave's Combo is priced at $9.49 and covers the whole Dave's line, so the Single and the Double reach the counter carrying the same meal figure.
- Fix
- At $9.49 the combo costs the same whichever of the two goes into it. Against the $6.79 typically charged for the Single, that is $2.70 for fries and a drink.
The nutrition panel on the Wendy's page will not load
- Cause
- The fat, sodium, carbohydrate and protein figures arrive through script that runs after the page loads. Every read of the panel for this burger returned a loading placeholder, so the macros could not be read.
- Fix
- The 560-calorie figure is safe, because it appears in the ordering interface itself rather than in the panel. For the rest, open the item in a browser and wait for it to fill.
A single that lists above the double, and what to budget instead
Start with the thing that does not add up. On the hamburgers page of Wendy's own ordering site, read on 19 August 2026, Dave's Single is priced at $8.13. The two-patty Dave's Double on that same page is $6.79. The three-patty Dave's Triple is $7.99. A one-patty burger above both.
That page was opened three times, once asking outright which of the two was higher. It returned $8.13 every time. The figure is real in one narrow sense: the company's own system displays it. Every other burger price on that page matches its corroborating table exactly. This row is the lone exception, which marks $8.13 as a fault in the data rather than a price anybody pays.
The bottom of the printed range needs the same treatment. The $3.79 is not corroborated either: a second reading puts the burger at $5.49, and both cannot stand. Set the failing pair aside and a narrower band survives, $5.49 to $7.49, with support at each end. The middle of everything logged, $6.79, sits inside it. Budget from there.
What's in it
One patty and 560 calories. Wendy's gives the Double 810 and the Triple 1,100, so each further patty adds between 250 and 290. The macro panel could not be read, so no fat, sodium or protein figure appears here. The 560 survives because it is printed in the ordering interface.
Is it worth it
On the company's own list, moving from the Single to the Double costs $1.34 less and adds 250 calories, which only happens when a price list has a fault in it. The combo flattens the question further. One Dave's Combo at $9.49 covers the whole line, so the Single and the Double arrive at the same meal price. Against the $6.79 typically charged here, that is $2.70 for the fries and the drink. At the same money the Double is the better buy.
One caveat applies to every Wendy's burger. Franchisees run most restaurants and set their own prices, so $5.49 to $7.49 is a spread and not a promise.

Questions people ask
Is this page an official Wendy's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent and unconnected to Wendy's. The $8.13 and the 560 calories were read from Wendy's own ordering site on 19 August 2026; the range beside them comes from published US prices.
Can this site tell me the price at my local Wendy's?
No. Franchisees price their own boards at most Wendy's restaurants, so a national listing cannot speak for one address. The Wendy's app returns the figure for a chosen restaurant.
How much is a Dave's Single at Wendy's?
Budget about $6.79. The company's own site displays $8.13, which the order of its own menu contradicts, and the figures that survive checking run $5.49 to $7.49.
Is Dave's Single the cheapest of the Dave's burgers?
Not on the company's list, where it is the dearest of the three at $8.13 against $6.79 for the Double and $7.99 for the Triple. That ordering is the fault rather than the menu. Once the $8.13 is set aside the Single is no dearer than the Double, both near $6.79, and the Triple stays highest.
How many calories are in a Dave's Single?
560, from Wendy's. A Dave's Double is 810 and a Dave's Triple 1,100, so each patty adds between 250 and 290 calories.
